When clients walk into Renée Beauté, one of the first questions we hear is:
“Will lash extensions ruin my natural lashes?”
It’s a valid concern, especially with so much misinformation online.
The short answer: No, lash extensions do NOT damage your natural lashes when applied correctly by a trained and certified lash technician.
The long answer? Let’s break it down.
Why Some People Think Lash Extensions Cause Damage
There are many TikTok videos and horror stories from people who had bad experiences. But in almost all cases, the problem wasn’t the extensions it was:
1. Poor application techniques
Extensions applied too close to the skin or glued together can cause discomfort and premature lash shedding.
2. Using heavy or incorrect lash lengths
Every client has a different natural lash thickness.
Extensions that are too heavy can strain the lash line.
3. Not following proper aftercare
Pulling, rubbing, makeup buildup, or skipping refills can all harm natural lashes.
4. Going to untrained or uncertified technicians
Improper isolation, low-quality adhesives, and lack of hygiene = high risk.
At Renée Beauté, all our technicians receive advanced training, follow strict hygiene standards, and use premium products. That’s why our clients maintain healthy natural lashes year-round.
What Actually Happens to Your Natural Lashes
Your lashes follow a natural growth and shedding cycle.
This means:
- Each natural lash has a life cycle of 4–6 weeks
- Shedding is normal, extensions just make it more noticeable
- When applied properly, extensions grow and fall with your natural lash
So your natural lashes are not harmed. They simply continue their normal cycle.
Signs of Lash Extensions Done Incorrectly
If you experience any of the following, your extensions were not applied safely:
- Pain or burning sensations
- Clumpy or “stuck together” lashes
- Heavy feeling on the eyelids
- Broken or snapped natural lashes
- Bald spots on the lash line
These are red flags and should never happen with a qualified artist.
How to Keep Your Natural Lashes Healthy With Extensions
Here are expert tips we give all our clients:
1. Book with certified lash technicians
Skill, training, and precision matter more than anything else.
2. Clean your lashes daily
Oil, makeup, and dust weaken retention.
3. Avoid rubbing your eyes
This is the #1 cause of natural lash loss.
4. Keep up with regular refills
Refills every 2–3 weeks keep your lashes balanced and healthy.
5. Avoid mascara and lash curlers
They cause breakage and weaken the bond.
With proper care, your natural lashes will stay healthy and strong — even long-term.
